What made the original Carrie work was how creepy Suzy Spacek (sp?) was already.. She looked the part already and acted incredibly in the role.

To do this again right (but since when has that mattered 'see the Amityville Horror remake with Ryan Reynolds'), they would have to find an actress who already has that creepy vibe... Putting a flavor of the month pretty face into the role ain't gonna cut it..

The sequel that Amy Irving starred in had its moments... Especially when she was offed toward the end.. Didn't see that coming at all..

I say this over and over and over and over but enough with the crappy remakes. They never do well. What made them favorites originally can't be recaptured--the writers, the actors, the specific point in time they came out. They never live up to the original and are always(BSG excepted) inferior--Karate Kid, Charlies Angels, Bionic Woman, Lone Ranger, Three Stooges, Flintstones, V, Nightmare on Elm Street, Halloween, 90210, Melrose Place, Knight Rider, A-Team, Hawaii 5-0, Lethal Weapon, Munsters, Friday the 13th, The Rockford Files, Dallas and the list goes on and on.

Here's an idea come up with a new idea that fans will be nostalgic over in 2 decades the way these shows/films have been rather than ruining a show by resurrecting it. They seem to think that by using a show fans enjoyed once upon a time that it will somehow cover up the crappy writing--newsflash crappy writing is still crappy writing. And I hate the way they try to give them the shallow sensibilities of our contemporary pop culture. The 70s, 80s and 90s had a certain pizzazz to them that is noticeably lacking in the 00s--everything is fast, flashy, artifical with a heavy emphasis on reaching out to the dumb girl generation who loves My Super Sweet 16, Lindsey Lohan and Facebook.
